Make sure tempature is between 40 and 90 degress F before doing test to avoid false codes.
1) Set Ignition in RUN Position.
2) To enter self test, simultaneously press the "OFF" and "FLOOR" buttons, then release and within 2 seconds press the "AUTO" button. All segments will light up if self self test completes with no failures.
3) To exit Self-Test and save trouble codes, press the blue "COOL" button. OR to exit Self-Test and clear trouble codes, press the "DEF" button.
NOTE: After any work has been done completed on the climate control system, the self test should be re-run and exited by pressing the "DEF" button. This will ensure that any codes accidentally set during repair are cleared.
